Results: The prosthetic complications were abutment fractured in 1, loose abutment in 2, fracture of veneering porcelain in 3, prosthesis framework fracture in 1 and screw fracture in 1 subject.

Conclusion: Prosthetic complications were abutment fractured, loose abutment, fracture of veneering porcelain, prosthesis framework fracture and screw fracture.
